A BX would do it all on my property, but I like having a G and a B. My B7610 lifts more than a BX, and the G1800-S (4WS) maneuvers around all my obstacles better than a BX. I definitely think that the BX would feel too big mowing around everything. The combined investment in both (used) was way less than a BX new, and many of them used (although, I've seen some pretty good deals on BX's lately). I definitely don't need the ground clearance of the B on my property, but since I have the G1800, I don't mow with the B, so a BX would be no advantage over a B.

All that said, if I had to have only one, it would definitely be a BX, and likely a BX1800 or BX1830, as a really don't need the 24HP that my B7610 has, and the 18hp BX's can be had for less money (although, I recently saw a BX2200 w/ FEL and MMM on CL for $6,700 -- sold now).
